Kathryn Elizabeth "Katey" Price Dann, 83, of Carlsbad, Calif., formerly of Canadensis, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, April 8, 2013. She was the loving wife of the late Chauncey "Skip" Price and Russell J. Dann.

She died peacefully in her home surrounded by her family, who took loving care of her. Katey was the daughter of the late William and Madelyn (Musgrave) McLain, and was born and raised in Jubilee (near Moscow).

She moved to the Canadensis area to work at Buck Hill Falls, where she met and married Skip Price, a carpenter and former Pittsburgh Steel worker. They were blessed with three children. Skip was the son of Karl and Mae Nauman Price. After the loss of her husband, Skip, Katey courageously raised her children alone until meeting Russell Dann. Together, they had four beautiful daughters, adding to the existing family.

Russ and Katey owned Dann's Food Market, which was a focal point of the community. Everyone loved Russ and Katey, and their generosity and friendship was appreciated by all. Her passion for life was also seen in her love of golf, bowling, horseshoes, gardening, cooking and crossword puzzles. We can't ever forget her never-ending love of "Her" Philadelphia Phillies. Win or lose, Katey was the Phillies' greatest fan. One of our greatest memories was watching her dressed head to toe in Phillies gear, including the Phillies Finger, screaming for "Her" team, surrounded by thousands of San Diego Padres fans in their own San Diego Stadium.

In 1985, Katey moved to southern California to be near her growing family. "Mima," as she was affectionately known, was the proud grandmother of nine grandchildren. A country girl at heart, she forever cherished and missed her family and friends back in Pennsylvania, returning to visit whenever she got the chance. Katey's footprints forever will be imprinted on both coasts.

She is survived by her beloved six children: Gary Donald Price and his wife, Jenn, of Lorain, Ohio; Linda Price Bryfogle and Patrick Murphy of Stroudsburg; Kathy Dann Giuliano and her husband, Salvatore, of Escondido, Calif.; Sandy Dann Miller and William Russell of Oceanside, Calif.; Kristy Dann Genest and Jeff Biggs of Torrance Calif.; and Deborah Dann Bastian and her husband, Bob, of Carlsbad, Calif.; and her loving sister, Arlene McLain Lindsey of (Moscow) Madison Township.

Katey also leaves eight cherished grandchildren: Amanda Cramer of Burbank, Calif.; Taylor and Kayla McDuffie, both of Escondido, Calif.; Danny Miller of Topeka, Kan.; Jeanpierre and Tyler Genest of Honolulu, Hawaii; Justin Genest of Carlsbad, Calif.; and John Russell "JR" Gaydos of Vista, Calif.; and many nieces and nephews.

Katey was preceded in death by her beloved son, Bradford (Skippy) Price; her brothers, Harold and Donald McLain; her sister, Alice McLain Smith; her nieces, Sue McLain and Veronica and Lisa Smith; and her granddaughter, Kelli Miller.

A private memorial and Celebration of Life will be held at Carlsbad Beach in Carlsbad, Calif.

With gratitude and love to Hospice of the North Coast in Carlsbad, Calif.
